Director of Commercial Mechanical Construction -

This is a true build‑and‑own opportunity. A growing commercial mechanical contractor is launching a new commercial HVAC construction division and is hiring a senior leader to take full ownership. Strategy, relationships, execution, and P&L. This role is not maintenance mode.

Why this role stands out

  • Launching and leading a new construction division, not inheriting one
  • Immediate ability to leverage existing GC relationships to drive revenue
  • Full P&L ownership with real upside tied to performance
  • Strong back‑office, service infrastructure, and executive support already in place
  • EOS‑run organization with clarity, accountability, and structure

What you will own

  • Build and scale the commercial HVAC construction division from the ground up
  • Hire, lead, and develop project managers, estimators, and field leadership
  • Establish estimating, project execution, job costing, and operational standards
  • Align construction and service offerings for long‑term client value
  • Own EOS execution for the division including Rocks, Scorecards, and L10s

Business Development

  • Leverage existing GC and developer relationships to secure immediate work
  • Lead preconstruction, proposals, negotiations, and project pursuit strategy
  • Build a consistent pipeline across commercial, institutional, and light industrial markets
  • Represent the company with GCs, developers, and industry partners

Operations & Financials

  • Oversee estimating, scheduling, procurement, and field execution
  • Ensure projects hit schedule, margin, quality, and safety targets
  • Own division P&L, forecasting, backlog, and labor utilization
  • Deliver consistent job costing and financial visibility

What they are looking for

  • 5–7+ years in commercial HVAC construction
  • Proven GC‑facing leadership with repeat business
  • Experience delivering projects in the $300K to $2M+ range
  • Strong mechanical and construction knowledge
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build and scale
  • Comfortable owning outcomes, not just managing tasks
  • Experience with EOS is a plus, not a requirement
  • Launch the construction division and reach profitability
  • Build roughly $8M in backlog through existing relationships
  • Establish a complete operational team and execution rhythm
  • Deliver projects within ±3% of estimated margin
  • Drive high repeat business and client satisfaction

Compensation

  • Base salary $150K–$200K depending on experience
  • Performance-based profit sharing tied to division results
  • Vehicle or allowance
  • Full benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and PTO

This role is for someone who wants to build something meaningful , not just run what already exists.
